Has Guitar Hero met its match
Many have dreamed of becoming rock stars when they grow up havent they? When the very first Guitar Hero game was released it enabled people to do just that. No more was it that you had to spend hours at a time trying to learn how to play the guitar when all you had to do is plug in a controller to the Xbox 360 and away you go! Although it may not be as satisfying as playing your favourite rock guitar solo on a real guitar, Guitar Hero fills the gap by enablng you to do this on a games console.
There are now many bands out there now who love the game such as ACDC and Metallica and have endorsed the name and even bought out games side by side Guitar Hero to enable their fans to play all of their favourite songs on the game itself.
Adding World Tour to the fanchise bought it more multiplayer via the drums and microphone as well as adding more songs to the setlist and enabling fans to form a band over Xbox Live.
However it is also true to say that many bands absolutely hate the product saying that fans should refuse to buy the product and take up a real instrument. There is of course no better alternative than actually playing a real instrument which is something that the game understands but what bands do not undertand is how much time and effort needs to be put in to actually learn an instrument.
The problem is for anbody wanting become a DJ it is very costly and time consuming which is where DJ Hero comes into it. Of course buying all your own DJ equipment and DJ software is expensive and not to mention hard work, could Activision have it right again with this or are they simply going too far?
Of course if you already are a DJ why not purchase some Behringer headphones to make those ears a it safer when you are playing a set.
